How about Cold Lake? Any ice yet?

Thanks to all who respond.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

The wife and I were at Carson today, still lots of flood water, about 6 in of good ice and 8 inches of bad ice , no driving onto lake yet , bite was pretty steady for most of the day, only 4 other tents on the ice

Was out on jackfish lake last week and the ice was no good... maybe 5" of good ice, 3" white-ice and lots of flood water all around. Seen a guy out driving on the lake and we were walking not even 20 yards away breaking through on feet. Bad ice this year

Does anyone know what the ice is like out at Coal Lake? Preferably the north end up by Millet?

lromanchuk · « **Reply #273 on:** Jan 05, 2014, 08:01 PM »

I'm heading to Coal tomorrow morning. I'll let you know.

anyone been to the brownlows on the weekend? how is the entrance there, still big bumps? is it accessable by a compact car? thanks.

Drove on to Coal at the north end boat launch today. A good 12 inches of black ice and 3-4 crappy ice.

Lots of snow when you venture too far south from the boat launch. My truck took a beating today.

Thanks Iromanchuck....how was it? Any action?

lromanchuk · « **Reply #277 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 08:31 AM »

Not horrible. Caught 6 between 60-75cm. Pretty average day for Coal

molsonmuscle · « **Reply #278 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 09:03 AM »

Where were you. Just off the north boat launch? My son wants to try ice fishing and I gotta get him into some fish. He's never caught one...

lromanchuk · « **Reply #279 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 10:07 AM »

I fish along the east side of the lake probably 1-2km south of the boat launch. Most of the lake is 6-10 feet of water, but there's a little drop right off the shore that gets 12-13 ft of water. Ive always had descent luck there.

Lots of snow when you venture that far south though. You need a good truck or skidoo.

molsonmuscle · « **Reply #280 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 06:37 PM »

Thanks Iromanchuk. Is it accessible by 4x4 truck?

lromanchuk · « **Reply #281 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 08:55 PM »

Yes. I got there with my 4x4.

molsonmuscle · « **Reply #282 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 10:07 PM »

I'll be out there as well.. Look for a 12' shanty and i'll put up my blue clam basecamp as well.. Chances are i'll drive on as I hear that there is a good 18" of ice.... I am now driving a silver Xterra with a black roof rack.

I'll also put up the old Shanty Flag ... apparently we will be by the island.

Still have the old black Ice Cube. Heading off the campground boat launch, not quite sure where but most likely to the left from the boat launch. My montana is in the shop, but going with my Brother in law in a white F150. most likely will see you there.

Further to Pine Coulee: The ice is great; the fishing is not.

10 days ago I fished in the evening a ways north of the bridge at PCR and for the second time this season caught neither burbot, my chief prey, nor walleye. In fact my partner and I did not even get a bite. I've never been skunked at PCR before, let alone twice in two weeks. I realize that others have reported poor PCR success too this year but had hoped that things would've improved by now. Anybody know what's up?

On the last day of last season I fished the same spot and took home a few burbot. Upon cleaning the fish I discovered that their flesh was very soft and one even had dark flesh with black running throughout. Are diseases or environmental factors at play. Also, in late summer the authorities began drawing the water down to service parts of the facility. Do you suppose that this wrecked havoc with the fishing in some way?

Pine Coulee has been a favorite spot for us over the past several years. Some have speculated that it's been over fished but frankly in my opinion it's a big lake and some of the areas I fish never appear to be frequented by other fishermen. I trust that my experiences this year are just a glitch and, perhaps, due to poor technique on my part. Perhaps things will right be right again soon. What do you think?
